CHIRP Radio writesCOMING SOON: “Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me” at the CHIRP Music Film Festival

Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (2013)
Saturday, September 16th 5:00pm

Hailing from Memphis Tennessee at the dawn of the '70s, power pop band Big Star only made three albums before their first breakup, and and did not reach superstar status during their era. What they did do was create a body of work that, by buoding a bridge between '60 British Invasion and '80s Alternative Rock, would echo through the decades while claiming the title of "Your Favorite Band's Favorite Band."

Directors Drew Oinicola and Olivia Mori document this singular group's formation, critical suceess, and eventual emergence as one of the ultimate cult music groups.

"[Documents] the band's coming together and falling apart and [offers] a passionate tribute to its brilliant, beautiful music." --Bruce Diones, New Yorker

"... a complete picture of Big Star from its inception to its demise - and later resurrection - and of course, it's loaded with awesome tunes." --Amie Simon, Three Imaginary Girls

The CHIRP Music Film Festival takes place at the historic Davis Theater in Chicago September 14th-17th. Tickets are available at Eventbrite.
